New York Mets C Landon Powell lost his five-month old daughter when she passed away Friday, Jan. 25, the family announced on Facebook. Izzy Powell suffered from Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, a disease in which white blood cells can build up in an organ and destroy other cells. KFFL sends condolences to the Powell family and friends.

Oakland Athletics C Landon Powell cleared waivers Thursday, Jan. 5, and he can refuse an outright assignment as a Super 2 player, but he's unlikely to go that route. His deal with the team is worth $620,000 but is not guaranteed. Powell can still be released during spring training.
